Site Updates
May 21, 2002, 1:44 AM – Removed basketball hoops from the Online Store, as CafePress has officially discontinued the item. Additionally, watch for some much-needed zoom images and product-flipping features in the store coming soon.
May 19, 2002, 12:52 AM – Completed the retrofit to College Life. Now, except for Freshman Year and photo sets taken by the Web Cam, all features now have clickable full-size images.
May 17, 2002, 5:08 PM – Added new fire alarm sounds... the Wheelock MT4-115-WH, and the Edwards 874-N5.
May 17, 2002, 12:12 PM – Completed a major overhaul to the Fire Alarm Collection in Main Event. This section was completely re-configured using ASP and is more business, and less blab. Also puts most of the pictures behind a single opening picture to decrease load.
May 12, 2002, 11:46 PM – Closed all OneCenter forums and replaced it with custom forum program called The Schumin Web Community, designed for the entire site plus subsidiaries. Thanks to Chris-Place.com for hosting it. Also, the Web Cam Archives are now completely ASP, and note the changed addresses on those pages. Additionally, added more College Life pictures.
May 10, 2002, 12:40 PM – Thought of idea for new quote. (Okay, I will admit - like Tim Allen after a trip to Sears, this was just an excuse to use my new form again!)
May 10, 2002, 7:09 AM – Oh, yeah... one thing I forgot to add before... I'm using a Web-based form for updating the site now, and so update dates and times will now reflect when I add the update to this page, and not the date the update was made.
May 5, 2002, 7:05 AM – Redesigned Schumin Web Multimedia Central to point to new home at Chris-Place.net, updated the layout, and changed the information source from "by hand" HTML to a database.
April 21, 2002, 12:00 AM – BIG update today! A new online store has come to The Schumin Web, and I've also completed the Photo Essay Blitz in its entirety.
April 9, 2002, 12:00 AM – Added the following photo essays from Photo Essay Blitz: Aboard the USS Wisconsin, Mastering the Seven Seas, Mermaids Everywhere, and World Trade Center Norfolk. Additionally, I have opened discussion forums for The Schumin Web and The Classic Liners of Long Ago. The forums are provided thanks to OneCenter.

March 27, 2002, 12:00 AM – The Today's Special discussion forum is now open! Check out Today's Special under "Major Areas" and head on over! Additionally, I am changing the "Contacting Me" pages slightly. Instead of all the subsidiaries going to the one "Contacting Me" page on The Schumin Web, each subsidiary will now have a contact page with its own colors and brand, though the content of the page is standardized.
March 26, 2002, 12:00 AM – Converted "Fan Art" page to database.
March 24, 2002, 12:00 AM – Added Charlottesville Photo Essay Blitz sets to Photo Essays, and removed "Six Years" banner.

February 23, 2002, 12:00 AM – Began making changes to the Photo Essays in preparation for my Spring Break Photo Essay Blitz. What I'm doing is I'm putting full-size (640x480 or so) photos behind the regular photos (clickable), and so far, the Christmas 2000, D-Hall Before Renovations, Renovations in the Ladies' Room, Sounding the Fire Alarm Collection, Great American Road Revisited, and Wal-Mart photo essays have been converted to this new style. The rest will come in time. Also refoldered The Schumin Web Salutes America (both the original and the second) in preparation for the changeover, but those two photo essays are NOT clickable (yet).
February 19, 2002, 12:00 AM – Added more fire alarms to the fire alarm collection pages, and added an archive.org feature to the Archives.

February 10, 2002, 12:00 AM – Added "Bowling with PCM" page to College Life. Also started converting StratoSearch pages to the database. "A" and "B" in StratoSearch are now properly converted to database format. New features in the listings include the language that the site is in, as well as the URL displayed on-screen as well as linked.
January 31, 2002, 12:00 AM – Added three new photos to Photo Essay Outtakes page, and also uploaded a bunch of pictures that were accidentally missed in the move to Entangled Web. If you see anything else that's broken, be it an image or an internal link, let me know.
January 24, 2002, 12:00 AM – Changed around the slogans on the back of the fire alarm line. Added two more slogans, moved a few to different products, and put the "steering wheel locked" quote on the tote bags, which were redesigned to match the shirts.

November 28, 2001, 12:00 AM – First "regular" update since the move. These updates, meant to clear a backlog of new content that I had, are two pages in College Life (Singled Out and the Post Office Lounge), and one Photo Essay (Wilson Hall - Inside the Cupola). Also added live model picture (I'm modeling the shirt) for the "Schumin Out" line.
November 27, 2001, 12:00 AM – Finally found a service that will allow me to run Multimedia Central content and other web.schuminweb.net stuff reliably with my new dynamic IP address, no thanks to JMU.
